Didn’t actually take a ton of pictures on Christmas this year, and the ones I did take aren’t the best quality as the lighting was low, but I prefer to enjoy the moment instead of trying to constantly take pictures (at least that’s my excuse).

Lucas and McKinley decided they wanted to sleep in the same room the night before, so we moved Lucas’ mattress to McKinley’s floor. They woke up at like 4:30, and I told them they had to go back to bed for at least a few hours. McKinley did just fine, but Lucas kept getting up every 20 minutes or so, wanting to open presents. He finally fell asleep at around 6 and then they didn’t get up until a little after 7:30, which was nice.

Lucas’ class got to do a Christmas play this year. Lucas got the part of Papa Snowman, with 5 different lines to memorize. He had no trouble doing that and was super excited for the play.

I was worried he might be scared but if he was, he didn’t act like it. He did great with his lines and great singing the songs.

This last song I really liked and think it’s really good to remember this time of year:

The kids wanted to sleep under the Christmas Tree this year, so I got out our air mattress and let them one weekend. They got to stay up late watching some Christmas shows and they had a grand time.
